    Stenner Pumps

    I added a Stenner this spring and love it, to piggy back off Bama I've found best time for me to maintain FC is to inject for 30 mins from 8:00-8:30am then again from 4:00-4:30 pm and again at 9:00-9:10pm my pool is in direct sunlight from 9:15am-3:30pm and I've found I can keep a more steady FC...

    Intermatic 25300 vs 20000

    Jim, thanks I decided to go with the 35300 got a pretty good deal on it, its more than I need but I like the idea of having more options than I need for down the road and I picked it up for $35.00 than I could have gotten the 25300 complete for.

    Intermatic 25300 vs 20000

    Can anyone tell me the difference in the 25300 & 20000, other than the 23500 includes the P1353ME timer included, does the PE20000 include the breaker bus? I only ask cause it seems that I can buy the 2 pieces separately cheaper than buying together with the 23500.

    Reducing CYA

    I've talked to Hayward and Circupool about a 40K system and they say they can pull up to 8-10 Amps @ 220 now the "controller" only pulls around 1-2 AMPS, now I'm sure the 8-10 amps is in super chlorinate but still say 1/3 for regular use is still a lot. there's a reason they require 8 gauge...
